The abundance of VOCs in our indoor environments, especially offices, is one of the more serious public health issues currently. Most offices/people are not aware of the problem and it isn't even measured regularly. Symptoms and issues are hard to link because they can vary from person to person, take a while to develop.

- iamatworknow 10y agoThere's always something that's going to be harmful to us in our man-made environment. It's just a matter of degree. If it's not radium watch dials or arsenic paint, it's asbestos or lead paint, or radon gas, or, triclosan soap, or plastic microbeads, or whatever else. That's not to say people shouldn't be concerned or strive to improve even more, but we're better now than we ever have been in any time in our history. The "product containing x will kill you and your children!" thing just gets tiring after a while.
